EXHIBITED AT THE

SENOR JOSE FERRANDO 
SPANISH COMMISSIONER 


TUESDAY EVENING, MAY TWENTIETH

PARK AVENUE AND FIFTY-NINTH STREET 
NEW YORK 


HIS collection of Spanish pictures was gathered together for the 
Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915, 
under the superintendence of Sefior José Ferrando, Spanish Commis- 
sioner to the Exposition. In the following year, 1916, the pictures were 
exhibited at The Panama-California International Exposition, San Diego. 
They are now offered at public sale so that Sefior Ferrando may return 
to Spain. 


The pictures were selected by a committee of Spanish Artists, which 
included such well-known painters as Ignacio Zuloaga and Sorolla y 
Bastida, whOse productions have been received with acclamation in 
America. Zuloaga is in the first rank of modern artists. The acquisition 
by The Boston Museum of Fine Arts of “My Uncle Daniel and His 
Family” was one of the most satisfactory, and also one of the most 
daring acquisitions of modern times. And those who have seen them can- 
not readily forget the romantic mysticism of his “Women of Sepulveda” 
and his portrait of “Mlle. Lucienne Bréval.” 


The eminent painters represented in this collection are akin to Zuloaga 
and Sorolla in their passion for portraying the scenes and characters of 
their own country. The painters of other countries are merging from 
Nationalism into Internationalism. The painters of Spain are today 
more National than ever. To walk round this exhibition is to take a 
walk through Spain. We see the detached, serious, remote peasants of 
Nevarra through the eyes of those remarkable brothers Ramon de 
Zubiaurre, and Valentin de Zubiaurre, both born deaf and dumb, the 
lack of those senses increasing the intensity of their vision; we see the 
eternal feminine in Juan Cardona’s dark, butterfly girls; we see the glow- 
ing canvasses of Carlos Vesquez, a deservedly popular artist, who has 
become a picture-postcard celebrity; we see the life of the cigarette 
makers and the gypsies displayed by the lively brush of Gonzalo Bilbao ; 
we see the sunny landscapes, with the towering clouds and heat-haze 
distances, of Eliseo Meifren; everywhere, in every picture, we see the 
gusto, the joy of life, the gay, eager portrayal of the present moment 
which is the note of modern realistic Spanish painting. 


This collection is more than a brilliant peep-show at the dancing, 
bull-fighting, picnicking, fair-day journeying, flower garden, church splen- 
dor, life of Spain. It opens an avenue to the past, to the ancestors of 
these vivid moderns. We see in the dim distance the grave figure of the 


5 


great Velasquez, a world master ; the unequal Murillo, so fine 
painted what his eyes saw ; the fascinating and fantastic El Greco, 
masterpiece at Toledo sent George Borrow into the seventh heaver 
admiration; the dark fervor of Zubaran and Ribera; the amazing a e 1 
satility of Goya; the glitter of Fortuny ; the sombre liveliness of Zuloag: 
and so on the modern Spaniards here displayed, very much alive, ver ; 
expert, flashing before us the present look of immemorial Spain, dom 
nated today, as of yore, by King and Church, by Bull-fighter and Da 
Girl. ?

MEMORIES 


Fl Conde de Aguiar is a Spanish nobleman who practices paint- 
ing as a relaxation. “Memories” represents an episode of grief, 
rather a rare motive in Spanish painting. The dolls, the toys, tell 
their own sad tale. 

Height, 51 wmches; width, 41 inches. 


BION AL TYPE 


A brisk study, a swift realization of a type. The costume may 
not be familiar, but Spain is signed all over this picturesque evening 
garb of a young Spaniard of the people. 

Height, 28 inches; width, 20 1wnches. 


aa LUDDY 


No painter has ever rivalled Velasquez in the presentment of 
children, the flowerlike quality of their fresh faces, and their air of 
innocence and unpremeditation. In this child study El Conde de 
Aguiar has no doubt had memories of the ill-fated children of 
Philip IV, who were painted by Velasquez. 

Height, 35 inches; width, 27 inches.

[O64 


ad bs 


These sunny landscapes recall vividly the hot stillness of Seville, 
and the wonders of the Alcazar Palace which, some think, is finer 
than the Alhambra. The father of the present King of Spain was 
born in the Alcazar Palace. Velasquez, it will be remembered, dur- 
ing his visit to Rome, painted two landscapes in the Medici Gardens, 
Rome. Sefior Bilbao, being a modern, paints the intense sunlight, 
not the pale sun-color that Velasquez dignified. 

Each, height, 25 inches; width, 34 inches.

one may pick oranges and watch the goldfish darting through the

On the way to the fair to the accompaniment of music and flirta- 
tious talk. The Sevillians, men and women, love beautiful clothes, 
and their passion for finery is not confined to their bodies. Note 
the decoration of the horse and the canopy of the wagon. 

Height, 42 inches; width, 66 imches.

CIGARE. JE (Giliis 


The opera “Carmen” has given to the cigarette girls of Spain a 
universal and a very agreeable notoriety. Here they are, their work 
finished for the day, on their way home. Some of them, perhaps all, 
will spend the evening with an attractive Toreador. This picture 
was awarded a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Ex- 
position, 1915. 

Height, 72 inches; width, 39 inches. 


GUGA Rs Faas 


This is a government cigar factory. Two of the girls are receiving 
a visitor and chatting. The rules are apparently not severe. Indeed, 
it seems more of a family gathering than a factory. Witness the 
baby! The Queen of Spain finances a room in this building where 
the babies are tended while the mothers are working.

This brilliant picture represents a private cigarette factory where 
cigarettes for one household are made at the rate of 2,000 or so a 
day. The girls have a way of placing half a dozen cigarettes with 
pinches of tobacco on their bare arms. A quick movement, a flash, 
a rush of nimble fingers, and the cigarettes are rolled. Spain, a 
laggard in some things, is expert in the making of cigarettes.

Peeenenm beEPORE THE ALTAR IN THE CATHEDRAL: OF 
SEVILLE 


Some visitors to Spain have been so fortunate as to see this dance 
which takes place once a year in the Cathedral of Seville. It dates 
back some hundreds of years and is performed by boys of well-born 
Spanish families before the assembled Cardinals. The story is that 
a group of lads dancing and playing surreptitiously in ancient times 
on this sacred spot were able to effect the capture of thieves who 
were attempting to rob the high altar. Many years ago the Pope 
was petitioned to end the sacrilege. He said: “The dance shall stop 

YU he when the costumes are worn out.” Needlewomen and repairers have 
kept the dance going.

These two remarkable painters, the brothers Ramon and Valentin

who might have stepped from a page of Dante.

SPANISH (PHEASANT 

Here is one of Seftor Valentin de Zubiaurre’s studies of peasants. 
Time and toil have ploughed the face. We look and wonder what 
thoughts are passing behind that battered mask and those gleaming 
eyes. 
Height, 23 inches; width, 18 inches. 


PEASANA WITH BOWL 

The bowl of glass is not a fetish nor a mascot like Billikins. Utility 
is its purpose. A light is placed inside, and the bowl goes with the 
peasant on walks and visits. But with this weather-worn, time- 
ravaged peasant the bowl seems to assume the character of a fetish 
with mystical signification. 
Height, 23 inches; width, 31 inches. 


PEASANT ‘GOUPEE AW EE Bey 

Here is the Bowl again clasped closely by the woman. The finery 
of the Dutch peasant is more flamboyant than their brethren in Spain. 
The Spanish peasant has a dignity and a stillness that gives him a 
place apart. 
Height, 39 inches; width, 39 inches. 


RHA SANT IW hlG 


This is a very racial picture. Those who only know the beaten 
tracks of Spain may learn much from this type, upon whose head, 
and into whose remote eyes, the vicissitudes in thought and action 
of this ancient race seem to dwell. 

Height, 39 inches; width, 39 inches.

position, San Francisco, 1915; bronze medal, Panama-Califorma Inter-

Artigas is a bold and forceful etcher somewhat akin to Brangwyn. 
He sees the world in mass, and brings his own personal vision to a 
subject whether it be landscape, or a scene of human toil such as 
landing coal at Barcelona.
